Testing for COVID-19 Expands; Health System Preparations
Premier Stephen McNeil, Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Brendan Carr, president and CEO of Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) and Dr. Krista Jangaard, president and CEO of IWK Health Centre gave an update today, March 26, on the health system and efforts to help Nova Scotians dealing with COVID-19.
"Our health-care system is being examined from top to bottom to ensure we are ready for COVID-19," said Premier McNeil. "Our hospital administrators, our doctors and nurses, cleaning staff – everyone is focused on containing the spread. But none of this matters if you don't stay at home and avoid social gatherings."
Dr. Strang said testing to confirm COVID-19 is being expanded to include:
anyone referred by 811 to an assessment centre
all close contacts of people who test positive
people in hospital that meet the criteria for testing
An alternate phone line has been set up to ensure health-care workers are virus-free, able to safely provide care and not burden the 811 system. The service deals with NSHA and IWK staff, home-care and long-term care providers, pharmacists and health providers in First Nations communities.
"Over the next two weeks as travellers come home, we need to control and limit spread of this virus," said Dr. Strang. "We can do this by strictly following public health measures – physical distancing and self-isolation."
Other measures announced today include:
reservations for the 2020 camping season are on hold; an announcement will made when they are available
open fires are banned for any purpose in woods or within 305 metres of woods in any part of the province and will be in effect until May 15 (the public can report wildfires by calling 911 in an emergency or by calling 1-800-565-2224)
Nova Scotians can find accurate, up-to-date information, handwashing posters and fact sheets at https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus .
"I want to reassure IWK patients and families across Nova Scotia and those living in P.E.I., New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador that we are still here for you. Your urgent care needs will continue to be met and you will be permitted to cross the border for urgent and specialized appointments."
Dr. Krista Jangaard, president and CEO, IWK Health Centre
"While most people are being told not to go to work, our staff and physicians are showing up every day to ensure Nova Scotians get the care they need. As we continue to plan, prepare and respond to COVID-19, we appreciate your patience, support and co-operation with the important public health measures that are in place. This will help reduce the impact the pandemic will have on Nova Scotians and our health system. It is a difficult time for everyone, but if we all do our part, we will reduce the spread of the virus and life will return to normal sooner."
Dr. Brendan Carr, president and CEO, Nova Scotia Health Authority
testing numbers are updated daily at https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus
Nova Scotia's Health Protection Act gives the chief medical officer of health the authority to give advice to protect public health and decrease risk to public health presented by communicable diseases such as COVID-19
a state of emergency was declared under the Emergency Management Act on March 22 and remains in effect until noon, April 5
under the state of emergency government can control or prohibit assembly as well as travel to and from areas. It can also coordinate commerce activity and emergency responders
a new virus like COVID-19 can cause fear. Nova Scotians are encouraged to support each other and use technology to stay connected

Кангчендзьонга (или Канченджунга, Кинчинджунга, Канченджанга) е третият по височина връх на Земята (след Еверест и К2). Намира се в планината Хималаи, на границата между Сиким, Индия и Непал и е най-източно разположеният осемхилядник.

В превод името "Кангчендзьонга" означава "Петте съкровищници на великия сняг". Представлява планински масив, който се състои от пет върха, най-високият от които достига височина от 8586 m над морското равнище, а общо четири от петте са с височина над 8000 m: Южна Канчендзьонга – 8491 m. Средна Канчендзьонга – 8478 m и връх Ялунг Канг – 8505 m. Петият връх – връх Кангбачен, се намира в западния край на масива и е висок 7902 m.

Кангчендзьонга е свещен за жителите на Сиким и съществува неофициално правило изкачващите го алпинисти да не стъпват на самия върхов купол. Първото изкачване е осъществено на 25 май 1955 г. от британската алпийска свръзка Джордж Бенд и Джо Браун. В Непал съществува легенда, че Кангчендзьонга се обитава от богиня, която не позволява на жени да се изкачат на върха. Единствената жена, изкачила върха, е британката Джинет Харисън, която половин година по-късно загива при опит за изкачване на Дхаулагири.

За България за пръв път е изкачен от българския алпинист и зоолог от Националния природонаучен музей Боян Петров на 20 май 2014 г. Преди това са правени неуспешни опити, като през 1994 г. под него загива българската алпинистка Йорданка Димитрова.

Sometimes, you just have to thank your lucky stars when it comes to Dallas car accidents. You never know what's going to happen on the roads, and because of that… there are sometimes miracles happening every single day.
A Chevy pickup was barrelling down the road just before midnight. This truck had two passengers inside, and all three people collided into a small Honda Civic.
Spinning out of control, the Chevy careened into a Chevy Malibu that was parked in a parking lot in front of a local drug store. Witnesses at the scene were astonished.
"All of the sudden we just heard a big bang, and by the time we looked out of the CVS windows, we saw just a big pile of smoke and fire go up," said one of those witnesses.
Pieces of the Chevy went everywhere, scattered to the four winds from the collision. There were others who were injured from the accident, and fortunately… the ones who were in the other vehicles weren't injured too severely.
The ones in the truck were greatly injured, and they were taken to the local hospital. Onlookers are saying that it's a miracle that anyone survived the crash at all, as it looked so chaotic.
If you've been involved in an accident, you might understand what you're dealing with. A Dallas accident attorney is trained to look at accidents from all the angles, making sure that they come to the best solutions for you.
Give us a call if you've been injured in an accident and need someone on your side.

Spirulina vs. Amino Acids: What's the Best Protein Powder?
Spirulina, a cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) is a complete plant-based protein source that's easily digested for maximum nutrient absorption. This superfood has even been singled out as the most nutritious food on the planet gram-for-gram. But does that mean it's your best option for boosting your protein intake with supplementation? This article takes a look at the spirulina vs. amino acids debate. Keep reading to see the winner.
Why Supplement with Spirulina or Amino Acids?
Protein makes up 17% of our body weight (second only to water which makes up 62% of body weight). It plays a role in virtually every cellular process, produces enzymes and hormones, and builds our tissues, bones, and muscles. As the building block of life, protein is arguably the most important macronutrient for survival.
Unfortunately, many of us don't get enough of it. Whether that's due to dietary restrictions, such as eating a plant-based diet and excluding animal proteins, or because, as we grow older, our muscles become less responsive to protein and need more of it, it's always a good idea to supplement with an additional source.
There are many dietary supplements to choose from...whey protein, pea protein, soy protein, hemp protein, and spirulina powders! But these dietary protein powders are being outperformed by amino acid powders.
It all has to do with the makeup of protein. Protein is a string of amino acids linked together in a specific order. There are tens of thousands of different types of protein. The type of protein and its role in the body are determined by the order of its amino acids.
When we eat dietary protein, such as meat or eggs, or ingest a dietary protein powder like whey or spirulina, the protein breaks apart into its individual amino acids, which travel throughout the body performing their distinct functions. Before protein can be used, it has to be digested and broken down into amino acids.
This is where amino acids have spirulina and other dietary protein supplements beat.
An amino acid powder delivers free amino acids that don't need to be digested. They are ready for work immediately upon intake!
Amino acid powders can also be formulated with an ideal ratio of amino acids for unique health needs. For instance, if you are supplementing with protein to help stimulate muscle growth, then you'll want a leucine-enriched essential amino acid supplement. And if you're supplementing to speed recovery after an injury or surgery, you'll want an amino acid powder that also contains creatine and slow-acting whey protein.
Click here for our recommendation of amino acid powders.
To summarize: When you're looking to supplement your diet with a protein powder, what you really want to do is to boost your intake of amino acids that make up protein. It's far more effective to go straight to the source and supplement with an amino acid powder that does not need to be digested and is immediately bioavailable.
The Protein Content of Spirulina
As an additional source of protein, spirulina is a good choice. It's considered a complete protein, which means it contains all nine of the essential amino acids the body cannot manufacture on its own. There aren't many plant-based proteins that have this distinction.
Let's take a look at the essential amino acid profile of 1 tablespoon (7 grams) of dried spirulina seaweed (for reference, most scoops of spirulina powder are 3 grams). That's 4 grams of protein and the following milligrams of essential amino acids:
Amino Acid Mg %RDI
Histidine 76 mg 11%
Isoleucine 225 mg 16%
Leucine 346 mg 13%
Lysine 212 mg 10%
Methionine 80 mg 11%
Phenylalanine 194 mg 22%
Threonine 208 mg 20%
Tryptophan 65 mg 23%
Valine 246 mg 14%
You also get a good mix of nonessential amino acids, which the body can make on its own:
Nonessential amino acids
Alanine 316 mg
Arginine 290 mg
Aspartic 406 mg
Cysteine 46 mg
Methionine 178 mg
Glutamic Acid 217 mg
Proline 167 mg
Serine 210 mg
Tyrosine 181 mg
Although spirulina has low levels of lysine, histidine, and methionine, it still contains a balanced amino acid composition for human nutrition. The problem is, you'd have to eat a ton of it to meet your essential amino acid requirements.
Spirulina also gets a thumbs up for protein digestibility. A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that the average digestibility of essential amino acids in spirulina protein was 85.2% (1). Compare that percentage to the protein digestibility of egg (97-98%), soy (95-98%), and quinoa (91-92%).
Biological value (BV) measures how much protein in a food is absorbed for use by proteins in the body. Because spirulina's membrane is able to be dissolved easily by gastric acids, spirulina scores a BV of 68% (not bad!), while whey protein has a BV of 104 and soy 74.
Health Benefits of Spirulina
When it comes to spirulina vs. amino acids, amino acids are the clear winner for best protein powder.
But spirulina is more than just protein. This microalgae is also a good source of vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), and vitamin B9 (folate), as well as minerals including iron, copper, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and manganese. (It does not, as some other health sites mention, contain vitamin B12.) Vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K also make an appearance in spirulina.
Spirulina has a noteworthy fatty acid profile, with a 1.5:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3, including alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid. It is also one of the few foods to contain the essential fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA), which acts as an anti-inflammatory to reduce swelling and contributes to brain, skin, and metabolic health. The only other food sources of GLA are evening primrose oil, blackcurrant oil, borage oil, and breast milk.
Spirulina fights back against inflammation and bolsters immune system health with an antioxidant called phycocyanin. Noted for its antioxidant properties, spirulina helps protect against oxidative damage from free radicals. Other antioxidants in spirulina include the carotenoid beta-carotene, as well as 1% chlorophyll, the photosynthesis pigment.
Like it's cousin chlorella, spirulina supports heart health by lowering blood pressure and lipids such as triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, while raising heart-healthy HDL cholesterol levels.
It even gets props for being an anti-cancer agent. Research shows that spirulina can help protect against oral cancer, specifically a form of precancerous lesion of the mouth called OSMF.
Spirulina powder and capsules are generally recognized as safe, but side effects such as nausea, headaches, and insomnia can occur.
Forage for your spirulina wisely. Species include Spirulina maxima (Arthrospira maxima), Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis), and Spirulina fusiformis (Arthrospira fusiformis). It is important to buy spirulina from a trusted source as heavy metal contamination in spirulina supplements and products has been reported. Heavy metals can exacerbate autoimmune conditions and lead to other health problems.

Visiting Branson, top education leaders talk K-12 funding

BRANSON — At the end of her inaugural visit to the Branson district, Missouri Education Commissioner Margie Vandeven was happy to talk about the good things she saw happening in classrooms there.
She was reserved, however, when the topic of money for public schools came up.
Missouri predicts a significant funding shortfall for next year and the new governor, sworn in just weeks ago, faces tough decisions in trying to square up the budget. His proposed spending plan is expected Wednesday.
Until then, Vandeven and others — including state Board of Education member Peter Herschend — acknowledge it is difficult to know how K-12 will fare next year, when compared to other priorities.
A sizable bump in K-12 funding is a long shot. Experts say it is more likely funding will stay relatively flat and there is a chance it will drop.

"We'll know more when we receive the budget and what it looks like," Vandeven said after the Friday tour in Branson. "One of the things we're trying to continue to emphasize is how K-12 funding is an investment in this state."
Vandeven said Gov. Eric Greitens and the legislature, as a whole, has signaled support for "high quality" education.
"I have heard from the governor that education is a strong priority for him," she said. "I haven't gotten into the very specific details of what that means but I am confident that education is a priority for this governor."

Herschend, whose family owns Silver Dollar City, said he does not envy the difficult decisions faced by this governor.
Years ago, the state created the Missouri Foundation Formula to figure out how much money was needed to provide a basic level of funding for every district. State funding for the formula has never hit the recommended level.
He said the amount needed to fully fund the formula is estimated at more than $400 million.
"I believe the governor and the key legislative leaders will do all they can to close that funding gap," he said. "The governor and the legislature are more than willing. It's an attitude on their part — they want to fully fund — the issue isn't desire. The issue is availability of dollars."
Herschend lives in the Branson area and served on the district's school board before accepting the state post 26 years ago, said funding is a critical component but school quality rests on picking the best principals and classroom teachers.

"Everything turns on how good, or not good, that individual is," he said. "The answer lies in the quality of leadership at the school and those teachers."
Vandeven said she was impressed with what she saw in the Branson district.
The Friday tour started with Branson High School, especially the ninth-grade center. The 370 freshmen have smaller class sizes and support services concentrated in a "separate environment," designed to east them into high school and help at-risk students succeed.
Attendance has increased and the amount of discipline issues and failing grades has decreased among ninth-graders since the center opened.
After the high school visit, Vandeven toured the 680-student Buchanan Elementary, which has kindergarten through third grade.
She said students were actively engaged in the learning process, classrooms were fun and interactive and there was a lot of talk — at the principal, the school board and the superintendent level — about developing the best teachers.
Branson Superintendent Brad Swofford said he was proud to showcase what was working in Branson and hopes the visit left an impression on the state's top education officer.

"We are excited to be able to show and highlight what our students are doing here in Branson," he said.
Swofford said with the uncertain outlook for K-12 education, it is important to have advocates for public education and well-informed leaders.
"Our schools and our teachers are doing more for students than they ever have," he said. "In light of what is going at the state and national level, we want to show the good things going on in public schools."

Baton Rouge sued again over protest arrests after police shooting
Updated: 11:50 AM CDT Mar 24, 2017
Law enforcement officials in Louisiana's capital face another federal lawsuit accusing them of violating the rights of protesters arrested after a black man's fatal shooting by police. Attorneys from the Roderick & Solange MacArthur Justice Center in New Orleans filed Thursday's lawsuit on behalf of several Baton Rouge residents who were arrested after the July 2016 shooting death of Alton Sterling during an altercation with two police officers. The suit - at least the third to accuse police in Baton Rouge of violating protesters' civil rights - claims the arrests were part of a pattern of "racist law enforcement" in the city. Police arrested nearly 200 protesters following the July 5 shooting death of Alton Sterling, who was killed during a struggle with two white officers. Cellphone videos of the confrontation quickly spread on social media. Sterling's death, a day before another fatal police shooting in Minnesota, sparked widespread protests and inflamed racial tensions that were heightened by the fatal shooting of five police officers in Dallas by a black sniper. The Justice Department is investigating Sterling's death. The city of Baton Rouge and other defendants already have agreed to a settlement with lawyers for other arrested protesters who sued in August, including Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson. The deal calls for awarding $500 in cash payments to up to 90 protesters who were arrested only on charges of obstructing a highway. The local district attorney announced in July that roughly 100 arrested protesters wouldn't be prosecuted for that charge. Attorneys asked a federal judge to approve the settlement agreement on Nov. 30, but they're still waiting for a ruling. As recently as Tuesday, lawyers who brokered the agreement were still discussing its provisions with a magistrate judge, according to a court filing. Jim Craig, one of the attorneys who filed Thursday's suit on behalf of seven arrested protesters, said their clients don't believe that the settlement of the other case will "hold the authorities accountable for the decisions they made in July 2016." "It's as simple as that," Craig said. Roy Rodney Jr., a plaintiffs' lawyer working on the settlement, said the deal focuses on compensating protesters and clearing their arrest records. Thursday's suit, he added, is a broader effort to address "historical racial profiling" by police. "Ours is a much narrower focus, allowing for a much more immediate resolution," Rodney said. The head of the union that represents Baton Rouge police officers has called the settlement agreement a "slap in the face" and a "dangerous precedent" that could lead to even larger crowds at future protests. A separate settlement agreement last November resolved another lawsuit that accused police of violating protesters' civil rights. That settlement, which didn't include any monetary terms, resolved a suit filed by attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana and the New Orleans Workers' Center for Racial Justice. The defendants named in Thursday's suit include the city of Baton Rouge and its police chief, the elected sheriff of East Baton Rouge Parish and the head of the Louisiana State Police. A spokesman for the Baton Rouge Police Department said he couldn't comment on pending litigation. The suit says the Baton Rouge protests were "spontaneous and peaceful." Police equipped with riot shields, armored vehicles and high-powered weapons arrested protesters "without just cause, solely to suppress the protests and deny the protesters' right to free expression," it adds. "The long history of police mistreatment of residents of (Baton Rouge), and particularly its black residents, has been and continues to be an issue of great public concern," the suit says.

A separate settlement agreement last November resolved another lawsuit that accused police of violating protesters' civil rights. That settlement, which didn't include any monetary terms, resolved a suit filed by attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana and the New Orleans Workers' Center for Racial Justice.
The defendants named in Thursday's suit include the city of Baton Rouge and its police chief, the elected sheriff of East Baton Rouge Parish and the head of the Louisiana State Police. A spokesman for the Baton Rouge Police Department said he couldn't comment on pending litigation.
The suit says the Baton Rouge protests were "spontaneous and peaceful." Police equipped with riot shields, armored vehicles and high-powered weapons arrested protesters "without just cause, solely to suppress the protests and deny the protesters' right to free expression," it adds.
"The long history of police mistreatment of residents of (Baton Rouge), and particularly its black residents, has been and continues to be an issue of great public concern," the suit says.

Sebastien Eckersley-Maslin - Apr 21, 2011
Since making the transition from service provider to start-up investor, I've developed several criteria that allow me to quickly identify if a business idea is worth taking on. One requirement is that I believe a business must have three customers. Obviously I don't mean three individuals – rather, three distinct groups of customers that play an important role in a business' lifecycle.

Natalie Chandler - Apr 6, 2011
Bad product placement is as convincing as Tom Cruise's shoe lifts. (Fittingly then, Cruise has been front and centre in some of the most shameless pimp-my-product moments in modern celluloid history.) But the future of product placement is far more subtle. In fact, it's barely even there.
Sebastien Eckersley-Maslin launched a blog and announced on it that he would create a fully formed business in seven days with only $500. Then he did it. The result was AutoCarLog. Yet, Sebastien doesn't even consider the one-business-in-seven-days caper his best buzz builder. No, that would be when he traveled to six countries in 12 days to launch a global brand, in a bid to be listed in the Guinness record book as the "smallest multinational."

Kiryū Yūyū (japanisch 桐生悠々; geboren 20. Mai 1873 in Kanazawa (Präfektur Ishikawa); gestorben 10. September 1941 in Moriyama (Präfektur Aichi)) war ein japanischer Journalist.

Leben und Wirken
Kiryū Yūyū machte 1899 seinen Studienabschluss im Fach Rechtswissenschaft an der Universität Tokio. Nach seiner Tätigkeit bei dem Verlag Hakubunkan (博文館), bei den Zeitungen Shimotsuke Shimbun (下野新聞社), Osaka Mainichi Shimbun (大阪毎日新聞社), Osaka Asahi Shimbun (大阪朝日新聞社) und anderen wurde er 1910 Chefredakteur von Shinano Mainichi Shimbun (信濃 毎日新聞). Er war sein Leben lang befreundet mit dem Schriftsteller Tokuda Shūsei.

Im September 1912 wurde Kiryū nach dem Treue-Suizid (殉死, Junshi) von Nogi Maresuke von rechtsgerichteten Kreisen angegriffen, weil er das Vorgehen als überholte Sitte kritisiert hatte. 1914 ging er als Chefredakteur von Shin-Aichi (新愛知) nach Nagoya, verließ das Unternehmen aber 1924. 1928 wurde er erneut Chefredakteur von Shinano Mainichi, doch mit seinem Leitartikel "Lachen über die große Luftverteidigungsübung im Kantō-Gebiet" (関東防空大演習を嗤ふ, Kantō bōkū daienshū o warau) vom 11. August 1933, in dem er genau auf die Schwachstellen der damaligen japanischen städtischen Luftverteidigung hinwies, wurde er zum Problem unter den Anhängern des Militärs.

Kiryū zog sich nach Moriyama (守山町), einem Vorort von Nagoya, zurück, organisierte von dort aus den "Nagoya-Leseclub" (名古屋読書会, Nagoya dokushokai) und publizierte ein monatliches persönliches Magazin "Tazan no ishi" (他山の石), um mit zeitnaher Kritik weiterhin das Militär anzugreifen. Es kam zu zahlreichen Verboten und zur Verschlimmerung seines Kehlkopfkrebses. Im August 1941 sandte er an seine Freunde und Bekannte die Mitteilung, dass er die Herausgabe einstelle, am 10. September starb er. Er war der letzte Journalist, der das Militär nachhaltig kritisierte.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden sein unbeirrter Widerstand wiederentdeckt. Es wurden "Chikushōdō no chikyū'" (畜生道の地球) – "Der Weg der Viehhaltung und die Erde", "Kiryū Yūyū hangun ronshū " (桐生悠々反軍論集) – "Sammlung der antimilitaristischen Schriften", "Kiryū Yūyū jiden" (桐生悠々自伝) – "Kiryū Yūyū Autobiografie" und ein Nachdruck des Magazin "Tazan no ishi" herausgegeben.

'Iron Chef' star's Tavern 62 closes down after alleged fight
By Rebecca Rosenberg
September 11, 2018 | 4:23pm | Updated September 11, 2018 | 9:09pm
David Burke's Tavern 62 at 135 E. 62nd St. in NYC James Messerschmidt

'Iron Chef' star is a money-hungry backstabber: ex business partner
'Iron Chef' star: My protege poached my staff
Celebrity "Iron Chef'' competitor David Burke's Upper East Side eatery Tavern 62 was abruptly 86'd on Tuesday — leading to a scuffle between a staffer and the company that managed the restaurant, sources said.
ESquared Hospitality, which ran the eatery in a deal with Burke, said in a statement that its workers were on-site in the morning "to take the necessary measures to close the restaurant."
Burke's lawyer, Alex Spiro, said tersely, "We'll respond accordingly."
A source said Burke, who once took on Iron Chef Bobby Flay on the hit TV show, didn't know the place was being shut down.
Workers from ESquared got into an argument with a female staffer at the restaurant, and she accused one of the men of grabbing her, and the cops were called, sources said. Burke was not present.
NYPD officers arrived at the upscale tavern, which occupies a townhouse at 135 E. 62nd St., after receiving a 911 call at about 11:45 a.m., police said.
A manager at a nearby restaurant who declined to give his name told The Post that seven or eight cops responded and escorted restaurant staff off the property.
ESquared claimed that "a person completely unrelated to the restaurant or our organization made a false claim that led to the Police Department's unnecessary arrival."
A sign posted on the restaurant's front door Tuesday afternoon read: "It is with great regret that we have decided to close our doors after 2 years in business. Thank you for all your support and memories."
Puzzled patrons who arrived for the tavern's 4 p.m. happy hour were confronted by the surprise closure note and a chained-and-padlocked front door.
"I'm just stunned. Wow," said one flummoxed customer. "I know David. I mean, he parks his car right here. But I had no idea. I just can't believe it. It was open yesterday."
Tavern 62 opened in 2016 in the same building that housed Burke's popular seafood restaurant Fishtail, which closed earlier the same year over a lease dispute, according to eater.com.

Personnaly I think the next project should be Aberdeen airport.
With FTX Scotland I think it will be beautiful.
I am hoping that Gary Summons (UK2000) will be turning his attention to Aberdeen after Birmingham version 3 is completed. I totally agree that we need a nicely detailed version of Aberdeen Airport ASAP!
Edited by Christopher Low, 13 December 2014 - 05:55 pm.
I don't think Gary Summons (UK2000) will be turning his attention to Aberdeen before 2016. So I suggest SIM720 do the job. I hope very much!!!
I am a UK2000 beta tester, so I know that Gary wants to turn his attention to Aberdeen Xtreme in early 2015. This is why I think that he may be intending to do it after version 3 of Birmingham Xtreme is released (the airport that he is currently working on).
Ok, I'm waitting on him.
Is there a link between Garry S & Sim720?
If not , why are we discussing it in a Sim720 forum? Just seems a little odd to me.
Nicolas asked if SIM720 could think about developing Aberdeen Airport. I was pointing out that Gary Summons intends to turn his attention to Aberdeen Xtreme (hopefully) early next year. As I am sure the SIM720 guys will agree, we do not want to have two developers creating the same airport if we can possibly help it.
just an update, please do not worry about discussing other developers here, this is your forum not just a sim720 space.

Thessaloniki, Κοιμητήριο Ευαγγελικών (el)
George I (Greek: Γεώργιος Αʹ, Βασιλεύς των Ελλήνων, Geórgios Αʹ, Vasiléfs ton Ellínon; born Prince William of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg; 24 December 1845 – 18 March 1913) was King of Greece from 1863 until his assassination in 1913.
Originally a Danish prince, George was born in Copenhagen, and seemed destined for a career in the Royal Danish Navy. He was only 17 years old when he was elected king by the Greek National Assembly, which had deposed the unpopular former king Otto. His nomination was both suggested and supported by the Great Powers: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Second French Empire and the Russian Empire. He married the Russian grand duchess Olga Constantinovna of Russia, and became the first monarch of a new Greek dynasty. Two of his sisters, Alexandra and Dagmar, married into the British and Russian royal families. King Edward VII and Tsar Alexander III were his brothers-in-law and King George V and Tsar Nicholas II were his nephews.
George's reign of almost 50 years (the longest in modern Greek history) was characterized by territorial gains as Greece established its place in pre-World War I Europe. Britain ceded the Ionian Islands peacefully, while Thessaly was annexed from the Ottoman Empire after the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878). Greece was not always successful in its territorial ambitions; it was defeated in the Greco-Turkish War (1897). During the First Balkan War, after Greek troops had captured much of Greek Macedonia, George was assassinated in Thessaloniki. Compared to his own long tenure, the reigns of his successors Constantine, Alexander, and George II proved short and insecure.
Family and early life
George was born at the Yellow Palace, an 18th-century town house at 18 Amaliegade, right next to the Amalienborg Palace complex in Copenhagen. He was the second son of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and Louise of Hesse-Kassel. Although his full name was Prince Christian Vilhelm Ferdinand Adolf Georg of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, until his accession in Greece, he was known as Prince Vilhelm (William), the namesake of his paternal and maternal grandfathers, William, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, and Prince William of Hesse-Kassel.
Although he was of royal blood, his family was relatively obscure and lived a comparatively normal life by royal standards. In 1852, however, George's father was designated the heir presumptive to the childless King Frederick VII of Denmark, and the family became princes and princesses of Denmark. George's siblings were Frederick (who succeeded their father as King of Denmark), Alexandra (who became queen consort of Edward VII of the United Kingdom and the mother of King George V), Dagmar (who, as Empress Maria Feodorovna, was consort of Alexander III of Russia and the mother of Tsar Nicholas II), Thyra (who married Prince Ernest Augustus, 3rd Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale) and Valdemar.
George's mother tongue was Danish, with English as a second language. He was also taught French and German. He embarked on a career in the Royal Danish Navy, and enrolled as a naval cadet along with his elder brother Frederick. While Frederick was described as "quiet and extremely well-behaved", George was "lively and full of pranks".
King of the Hellenes
Following the overthrow of the Bavarian-born King Otto of Greece in October 1862, the Greek people had rejected Otto's brother and designated successor Leopold, although they still favored a monarchy rather than a republic. Many Greeks, seeking closer ties to the pre-eminent world power, Great Britain, rallied around Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. British Foreign Minister Lord Palmerston believed that the Greeks were "panting for increase in territory", hoping for a gift of the Ionian Islands, which were then a British protectorate. The London Conference of 1832, however, prohibited any of the Great Powers' ruling families from accepting the crown, and in any event, Queen Victoria was adamantly opposed to the idea. The Greeks nevertheless insisted on holding a plebiscite in which Prince Alfred received over 95% of the 240,000 votes. There were 93 votes for a Republic and 6 for a Greek. King Otto received one vote.
With Prince Alfred's exclusion, the search began for an alternative candidate. The French favored Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale, while the British proposed Queen Victoria's brother-in-law Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg, her nephew Prince Leiningen, and Archduke Maximilian of Austria, among others. Eventually, the Greeks and Great Powers winnowed their choice to Prince William of Denmark, who had received 6 votes in the plebiscite. Aged only 17, he was elected King of the Hellenes on 30 March [O.S. 18 March] 1863 by the Greek National Assembly under the regnal name of George I. Paradoxically, he ascended a royal throne before his father, who became King of Denmark on 15 November the same year. There were two significant differences between George's elevation and that of his predecessor, Otto. First, he was acclaimed unanimously by the Greek Assembly, rather than imposed on the people by foreign powers. Second, he was proclaimed "King of the Hellenes" instead of "King of Greece", which had been Otto's style.
His ceremonial enthronement in Copenhagen on 6 June was attended by a delegation of Greeks led by First Admiral and Prime Minister Constantine Kanaris. Frederick VII awarded George the Order of the Elephant, and it was announced that the British government would cede the Ionian Islands to Greece in honor of the new monarch.
Early reign
The new 17-year-old king toured Saint Petersburg, London and Paris before departing for Greece from the French port of Toulon on 22 October aboard the Greek flagship Hellas. He arrived in Athens on 30 October [O.S. 18 October] 1863, after docking at Piraeus the previous day. He was determined not to make the mistakes of his predecessor, so he quickly learned Greek. The new king was seen frequently and informally in the streets of Athens, where his predecessor had only appeared in pomp. King George found the palace in a state of disarray, after the hasty departure of King Otto, and took to putting it right by mending and updating the 40-year-old building. He also sought to ensure that he was not seen as too influenced by his Danish advisers, ultimately sending his uncle, Prince Julius, back to Denmark with the words, "I will not allow any interference with the conduct of my government". Another adviser, Count Wilhelm Sponneck, became unpopular for advocating a policy of disarmament and tactlessly questioning the descent of modern Greeks from classical antecedents. Like Julius, he was dispatched back to Denmark.
From May 1864, George undertook a tour of the Peloponnese, through Corinth, Argos, Tripolitsa, Sparta, and Kalamata, where he embarked on the frigate Hellas. Proceeding northwards along the coast accompanied by British, French and Russian naval vessels, the Hellas reached Corfu on 6 June, for the ceremonial handover of the Ionian Islands by the British High Commissioner, Sir Henry Storks.
Politically, the new king took steps to conclude the protracted constitutional deliberations of the Assembly. On 19 October 1864, he sent the Assembly a demand, countersigned by Constantine Kanaris, explaining that he had accepted the crown on the understanding that a new constitution would be finalized, and that if it was not he would feel himself at "perfect liberty to adopt such measures as the disappointment of my hopes may suggest". It was unclear from the wording whether he meant to return to Denmark or impose a constitution, but as either event was undesirable the Assembly soon came to an agreement.
On 28 November 1864, he took the oath to defend the new constitution, which created a unicameral assembly (Vouli) with representatives elected by direct, secret, universal male suffrage, a first in modern Europe. A constitutional monarchy was set up with George deferring to the legitimate authority of the elected officials, although he was aware of the corruption present in elections and the difficulty of ruling a mostly illiterate population. Between 1864 and 1910, there were 21 general elections and 70 different governments.
Internationally, George maintained a strong relationship with his brother-in-law, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (eventually King Edward VII of the United Kingdom), and sought his help in defusing the recurring and contentious issue of Crete, an overwhelmingly Greek island that remained under Ottoman Turk control. Since the reign of Otto, the Greek desire to unite Greek lands in one nation had been a sore spot with the United Kingdom and France, which had embarrassed Otto by occupying the main Greek port Piraeus to dissuade Greek irredentism during the Crimean War. During the Cretan Revolt (1866–1869), the Prince of Wales sought the support of British Foreign Secretary Lord Derby to intervene in Crete on behalf of Greece. Ultimately, the Great Powers did not intervene and the Ottomans put down the rebellion.
Marriage and children
George first met Grand Duchess Olga Constantinovna of Russia in 1863, when she was 12 years old, on a visit to the court of Tsar Alexander II between his election to the Greek throne and his arrival in Athens. They met for a second time in April 1867, when George went to the Russian Empire to visit his sister Dagmar, who had married into the Russian imperial family. While George was a Lutheran, the Romanovs were Orthodox Christians like the majority of Greeks, and George thought a marriage with a Russian grand duchess would re-assure his subjects on the question of his future children's religion. Olga was just 16 years old when she married George in Saint Petersburg on 27 October 1867. After a honeymoon at Tsarskoye Selo, the couple left Russia for Greece on 9 November. Over the next twenty years, they had eight children:
Constantine (1868–1923), who married Princess Sophia of Prussia;
George (1869–1957), who married Princess Marie Bonaparte;
Alexandra (1870–1891), who married Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia;
Nicholas (1872–1938), who married Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia;
Maria (1876–1940), who married firstly Grand Duke George Mikhailovich of Russia and secondly Admiral Perikles Ioannidis;
Olga (1880), who died aged seven months;
Andrew (1882–1944), who married Princess Alice of Battenberg and was the father of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh; and
Christopher (1888–1940), who married firstly American widow Nancy Stewart Worthington Leeds and secondly Princess Françoise of Orléans.
As a marriage gift, the Tsar gave George a group of islands in the Petalioi Gulf, which the family visited on the royal yacht Amphitrite. George later purchased a country estate, Tatoi, north of Athens, and on Corfu he built a summer villa called Mon Repos. George developed Tatoi, building roads and planting grapes for making his own wine, Chateau Décélie. Intent on not letting his subjects know that he missed Denmark, he discreetly maintained a dairy at his palace at Tatoi, which was managed by native Danes and served as a bucolic reminder of his homeland. Queen Olga was far less careful in hiding her nostalgia for her native Russia, often visiting Russian ships at Piraeus two or three times before they weighed anchor. When alone with his wife, George usually conversed in German. Their children were taught English by their nannies, and when talking with his children he therefore spoke mainly English.
The King was related by marriage to the rulers of Great Britain, Russia and Prussia, maintaining a particularly strong attachment to the Prince and Princess of Wales, who visited Athens in 1869. Their visit occurred despite continued lawlessness which culminated in the kidnap of a party of British and Italian tourists, including Lord and Lady Muncaster. Two female hostages, a child and Lord Muncaster were released, but four of the others: British diplomat E. H. C. Herbert (the first cousin of Lord Carnarvon), Frederick Vyner (the brother-in-law of Lord Ripon, Lord President of the Council), Italian diplomat Count Boyl di Putifigari, and Mr. Lloyd (an engineer) were murdered. George's relationships with other ruling houses assisted him and his small country but also often put them at the center of national political struggles in Europe.
From 1864 to 1874, Greece had 21 governments, the longest of which lasted a year and a half. In July 1874, Charilaos Trikoupis, a member of the Greek Parliament, wrote an anonymous article in the newspaper Kairoi blaming King George and his advisors for the continuing political crisis caused by the lack of stable governments. In the article, he accused the King of acting like an absolute monarch by imposing minority governments on the people. If the King insisted, he argued, that only a politician commanding a majority in the Vouli could be appointed prime minister, then politicians would be forced to work together more harmoniously in order to construct a coalition government. Such a plan, he wrote, would end the political instability and reduce the large number of smaller parties. Trikoupis admitted to writing the article after a man supposed by the authorities to be the author was arrested, whereupon he was taken into custody himself. After a public outcry, he was released and subsequently acquitted of the charge of "undermining the constitutional order". The following year, the King asked Trikoupis to form a government (without a majority) and then read a speech from the throne declaring that in future the leader of the majority party in parliament would be appointed prime minister.
National progress
George's silver jubilee in 1888 was celebrated throughout the Hellenic world, and Athens was decorated with garlands for the anniversary of his accession on 30 October.[49] Visitors included the Crown Prince of Denmark, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Grand Dukes Sergei and Paul of Russia, and Djevad Pasha from the Ottoman Empire, who presented the King with two Arabian horses as gifts. Jubilee events in the week of 30 October included balls, galas, parades, a thanksgiving service at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, and a lunch for 500 invited guests in a blue and white tent on the Acropolis.
Greece in the last decades of the 19th century was increasingly prosperous and was developing a sense of its role on the European stage. In 1893, the Corinth Canal was built by a French company cutting the sea journey from the Adriatic Sea to Piraeus by 150 miles (241 km). In 1896, the Olympic Games were revived in Athens, and the Opening Ceremony of the 1896 Summer Olympics was presided over by the King. When Spiridon Louis, a shepherd from just outside Athens, ran into the Panathinaiko Stadium to win the Marathon event, the Crown Prince ran down onto the field to run the last thousand yards beside the Greek gold medalist, while the King stood and applauded.
The popular desire to unite all Greeks within a single territory (Megali Idea) was never far below the surface and another revolt against Turkish rule erupted in Crete. In February 1897, King George sent his son, Prince George, to take possession of the island. The Greeks refused an Ottoman offer of an autonomous administration, and Deligiannis mobilized for war. The Great Powers refused to allow the expansion of Greece, and on 25 February 1897 announced that Crete would be under an autonomous administration and ordered the Greek and Ottoman Turk militias to withdraw.
The Turks agreed, but Prime Minister Deligiannis refused and dispatched 1400 troops to Crete under the command of Colonel Timoleon Vassos. While the Great Powers announced a blockade, Greek troops crossed the Macedonian border and Abdul Hamid II declared war. The announcement that Greece was finally at war with the Turks was greeted by delirious displays of patriotism and spontaneous parades in honor of the King in Athens. Volunteers by the thousands streamed north to join the forces under the command of Crown Prince Constantine.
The war went badly for the ill-prepared Greeks; the only saving grace was the swiftness with which the Hellenic Army was overrun. By the end of April 1897, the war was lost. The worst consequences of defeat for the Greeks were mitigated by the intervention of the King's relations in Britain and Russia; nevertheless, the Greeks were forced to give up Crete to international administration, and agree to minor territorial concessions in favor of the Turks and an indemnity of 4 million Turkish pounds.
The jubilation with which Greeks had hailed their king at the beginning of the war was reversed in defeat. For a time, he considered abdication. It was not until the King faced down an assassination attempt on 27 February 1898 with great bravery that his subjects again held their monarch in high esteem. Returning from a trip to the beach at Phaleron in an open carriage, George and his daughter Maria were shot at by two riflemen. The King tried to shield his daughter; both were unhurt though the coachman and a horse were wounded. The gunmen (an Athens clerk called Karditzis and his assistant) fled into the Hymettus hills but they were spotted and arrested. Both were beheaded at Nauplia.
Later that year, after continued unrest in Crete, which included the murder of the British vice-consul, Prince George of Greece was made the Governor-General of Crete under the suzerainty of the Sultan, after the proposal was put forward by the Great Powers. Greece was effectively in day-to-day control of Crete for the first time in modern history.
Later reign and assassination
The death of Britain's Queen Victoria on 22 January 1901 left King George as the second-longest-reigning monarch in Europe.[62] His always cordial relations with his brother-in-law, the new King Edward VII, continued to tie Greece to Britain. This was abundantly important in Britain's support of King George's son Prince George as Governor-General of Crete. Nevertheless, Prince George resigned in 1906 after a leader in the Cretan Assembly, Eleftherios Venizelos, campaigned to have him removed.
As a response to the Young Turk Revolution of 1908, Venizelos's power base was further strengthened, and on 8 October 1908 the Cretan Assembly passed a resolution in favor of union despite both the reservations of the Athens government under Georgios Theotokis and the objections of the Great Powers. The muted reaction of the Athens Government to the news from Crete led to an unsettled state of affairs on the mainland.
A group of military officers formed a military league, Stratiotikos Syndesmos, that demanded that the royal family be stripped of their military commissions. To save the King the embarrassment of removing his sons from their commissions, they resigned them. The military league attempted a coup d'état called the Goudi Pronunciamento, and the King insisted on supporting the duly elected Hellenic Parliament in response. Eventually, the military league joined forces with Venizelos in calling for a National Assembly to revise the constitution. King George gave way, and new elections to the revising assembly were held. After some political maneuvering, Venizelos became prime minister of a minority government. Just a month later, Venizelos called new elections at which he won a colossal majority after most of the opposition parties declined to take part.
Venizelos and the King were united in their belief that the nation required a strong army to repair the damage of the humiliating defeat of 1897. Crown Prince Constantine was reinstated as Inspector-General of the Army, and later Commander-in-Chief. Under his and Venizelos's close supervision the military was retrained and equipped with French and British help, and new ships were ordered for the Hellenic Navy. Meanwhile, through diplomatic means, Venizelos had united the Christian countries of the Balkans in opposition to the ailing Ottoman Empire.
When Montenegro declared war on Turkey on 8 October 1912, it was joined quickly by Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece in what is known as the First Balkan War. George was on vacation in Denmark, so he immediately returned to Greece via Vienna, arriving in Athens to be met by a large and enthusiastic crowd on the evening of 9 October. The results of this campaign differed radically from the Greek experience at the hands of the Turks in 1897. The well-trained Greek forces, 200,000 strong, won victory after victory. On 9 November 1912, Greek forces commanded by Crown Prince Constantine rode into Thessaloniki, just a few hours ahead of a Bulgarian division. Three days later King George rode in triumph through the streets of Thessaloniki, the second-largest Greek city, accompanied by the Crown Prince and Venizelos.
As he approached the fiftieth anniversary of his accession, the King made plans to abdicate in favor of his son Constantine immediately after the celebration of his golden jubilee in October 1913. Just as he did in Athens, George went about Thessaloniki without any meaningful protection force. While out on an afternoon walk near the White Tower on 18 March 1913, he was shot at close range in the back by Alexandros Schinas, who was "said to belong to a Socialist organization" and "declared when arrested that he had killed the King because he refused to give him money". George died instantly, the bullet having penetrated his heart. The Greek government denied. Schinas was tortured in prison and six weeks later fell to his death from a police station window.
The King's body was taken to Athens on the Amphitrite, escorted by a flotilla of naval vessels. For three days the coffin of the King, draped in the Danish and Greek flags, lay in the Metropolis in Athens before his body was committed to a tomb at his palace in Tatoi. Unlike his father, the new king, Constantine, was to prove less willing to accept the advice of ministers, or that of the three protecting powers (Britain, France and Russia).

When our founder, Kristen, purchased her very first home with her husband, she found herself confronted with lots of new concerns, including whether or not to buy a home security system. Not knowing much about home security, she ended up making a hasty — and expensive — decision. After talking to friends and colleagues, she realized that she wasn't the only one who felt completely overwhelmed and confused by the often contradicting information available online about home security.
So she decided to do something about it.
We launched SecurityNerd because we want consumers to feel empowered in making their own decisions about their home security and we want them to do it without overpaying for it. Shopping for a home security system doesn't need to be complicated or intimidating and you — not a salesperson — should be the one calling the shots. There's no reason why you have to spend a ton of money just to keep your family safe. All you need is the right information. We made it our mission to simplify shopping for home security and we're here to provide the clear, honest and accurate information that you need to make your own choices wisely and with confidence.
Kristen Bolig
When Kristen and her husband moved from Philadelphia to North Carolina, they bought their very first home. A month after moving in, a security system salesman knocked on her door selling a system that she had seen signs for all over her new neighborhood. Although she hadn't ever purchased anything from a door-to-door salesman before, Kristen had been thinking about a home security system anyway and, with her husband going away on a business trip, she was concerned about being alone in her new home for the first time. Plus, she figured, if everyone in the neighborhood used this company, it must be the right choice. She felt pressured and ended up signing on to a two-year contract on the spot. Even worse, she ended up purchasing pretty much every safety feature that the company had to offer (and insisted that she needed.)
Months later, she noticed that much of the safety equipment she had paid for was available for much more affordable prices online. She started tallying up just how much they had overpaid with their contract — it wasn't pretty.
It turns out that she wasn't alone. After talking to a few friends, she realized that none of them really knew what a home security system was supposed to cost. Everyone just chalked it up as something you needed to have and picked a package that seemed reasonable because doing the research on their own seemed too intimidating and confusing.
This is exactly why Kristen wanted to launch SecurityNerd. It's her goal to make sure that others have access to the information she and her husband didn't have when they signed that contract.
Officer James Banta
Home Security & Safety Expert
Officer James Banta is the SecurityNerd home security and safety expert. With over 24 years as a police officer in Biloxi, Mississippi, Officer Banta has seen it all and is excited to offer his expert advice in order to help consumers better educate themselves on what it takes to keep themselves, their families and their homes safe. Named Officer of the Year several times during his time of service in the police force, Officer Banta worked as a detective in charge of a gang unit which was part of a larger federal task force. In addition to working as a police officer, Officer Banta was also a member of the United States Army, serving 1 tour in Bosnia, 1 in Afghanistan and 2 in Iraq. He earned a bronze star and retired from the army as a Master Sergeant.
Officer Banta is eager to pass on the knowledge he's acquired over the years to others so that they can take care of the people they love. In an increasingly global world, Officer Banta knows that crime happens locally. A little bit of education can go a long way in helping you protect your home and the people you love.
Officer Banta's most important piece of advice? "Do your research. Then do it again. What works for someone else, may not work for you. Understand your personal situation and your needs and that will help you make your decisions about home security. But you do need to be educated and you need to be alert. Remember, if your house is safe, then your family is safe."
Kate Ward
Content Lead
Kate Ward is an experienced editorial leader who has been creating content online for over 15 years at places like CafeMom, The Bump, The Knot and SELF.com. She heads up the team of writers who research and create the articles here on SecurityNerd.
Kate came to SecurityNerd at a particularly interesting time, having just purchased her own home just the year before. Knowing that, as a single mother of two, she really needed to look into getting a security system set up at her new home, Kate started doing some research online and also spent time talking to the people in her new town. Unfortunately, neither path led to any clarity on the situation at all. The people she talked to had all just picked a company either because it was the top result in Google or because they had seen the company's signs around town. None of her neighbors had done much research themselves because they said that the online information was confusing and none of it seemed particularly trustworthy. When Kate was asked if she wanted to take on the challenge of leading a team in creating helpful and clear content for consumers who are trying to figure out the world of home security, she jumped at the chance. Kate hopes that the work her team does will give the SecurityNerd readers a real feeling of confidence in knowing that they are educated and empowered to make their own decisions about home security. Kate believes that consumers should be able to rely on their own opinions — not those of a security system salesperson — in deciding how to protect their homes. Her goal is to provide the information consumers need to feel confident in making those decisions and, hopefully, saving themselves a few bucks in the process.

Samsung Pushes Open IoT with SmartThings Buy
By David Roe | Aug 18, 2014
CHANNEL: Internet of Things
Samsung has just made a play for a bigger stake in the Internet of Things. It plans to buy SmartThings' open platform for monitoring, controlling and automating homes from a single device.
The deal, which was announced late last week, will see Samsung buying SmartThings — reportedly for the relative pittance of $200 million — which will then operated as an independent entity under its founder and CEO, Alex Hawkinson.
Flexing its Muscles
It will also give Samsung a lot more muscle in a market that has to date been dominated by the likes of Apple and Google, with other contenders like Microsoft slowly starting to wake up and make a serious play for market share.
Founded in 2012, SmartThings developed an open platform that enables users to monitor devices in their home from a mobile device. Over the past two years, it added a number of new partners like Philips and Belkin to the platform, too.
As of today, it supports more than 1,000 devices and 8,000 apps and works with both Android and iOS devices, which you'd think is a pretty big deal, right? Certainly, Alex Hawkinson thinks so. In a post on the SmartThings website, he stated:
We believe that there is an enormous opportunity to leverage Samsung's global scale to help us realize our long-term vision. While we will remain operationally independent, joining forces with Samsung will enable us to support all of the leading smartphone vendors, devices, and applications, expand our base of developers and enhance the tools and programs that they rely on, and help many more people around the world easily control and monitor their homes using SmartThings."
Everyone Happy?
However, some of its users don't seem all that convinced it's such a good thing. In response to the news one user commented :
Given my experiences with Samsung devices, this would have kept me from purchasing a kit if I had known about this two weeks ago. Very disappointed.
Another user said:
This sucks. Makes me regret buying SmartThings and wish I would've bought another device. Just waiting for Samsung to stop allowing improvements for Apple devices, then taking my SmartThings to the local Goodwill. So much for getting HomeKit support.
For his part, Hawkinson replied :
… from me to you, we are 100 percent open and there will be no slowdown in support for iOS, our plans for HomeKit and so much more. Can't wait to show you what is coming. Stay with us and let me know what you think just a few months from now.
He also insisted that SmarterThings would continue to operate independently and that it would continue to develop the functionality and abilities that attracted people to it in the first place.
Once the deal is closed, which is expected to happen in the coming days, SmartThings will work as an independent unit in Samsung's Open Innovation Center (OIC).
OIC brings software and services innovation to Samsung Electronics by working with technology startups and entrepreneurs through investments, acquisitions, partnerships The Samsung Accelerator and has US offices in New York, and the strategically important Palo Alto in California.
IoT in the Home
The acquisition of SmartThings also underlines the growing competition in the consumer IoT space, especially in devices for smart homes.
